Abstract: The object of this article is to give account of the process of the construction of citizenship undertaken by the Catholic women in Sonora given from their active participation in opposition to the anticlerical politics imposed by the government emanated by the Revolution during the first third period of the XXth century. It proposes that the associationism promoted by the Sonoran diocese since the beginning of the Porfirian period and the social reconfiguration berated by the Mexican Revolution, were incentives for the Sonoran catholic women to become the visible faces in the state Catholic resistance. Through the analysis of their strategies for the religious liberty defense in the course of the three anticlerical waves (1914, 1926 and 1932) it is possible to observe that their response to such policies guided them to the construction of human agency, the identification of their rights, the developing of strategies for their defense and their auto recognition as citizens.
